Roger Stone is the latest rat to jump the sinking ship. In the following tweet, he says that he is not bound by a certain non-disclosure agreement that he signed:
Daily Newsbin speculates:
“It turns out the entity with which I signed a non-disclosure agreement for the Trump campaign was never legally constituted,” Roger Stone tweeted on Sunday, adding the hashtag “#invalid.” The message couldn’t have been more clear: he’s threatening to spill the beans on Trump, despite the fact that the two men have been friends for decades. Stone had been a political advisor to the Donald Trump campaign last year before quitting in a dispute over the direction in which Trump was taking his candidacy. But according to numerous accounts, Trump has continued to rely on Stone’s advice from time to time in an informal capacity. However today’s tweet was a clear throwing down of the gauntlet, and in public no less.
And Politico reports that Mr. Stone is happy to cooperate with the FBI:
Stone, a longtime GOP operative and one of the youngest members of Richard Nixon’s infamous 1972 reelection bid, has taken on an outsized role in the murky world of the WikiLeaks documents thanks to his personal boasts of having regular contact with the group’s founder, Julian Assange, through “mutual friends.”
Several months ago, Stone predicted an October surprise that would disrupt Clinton’s campaign and his recent Twitter posts suggested Podesta would soon be facing scandal, including an August update stating, “Trust me, it will soon the Podesta’s time in the barrel. #CrookedHillary”
Speaking to reporters earlier this week on Clinton’s airplane, Podesta confirmed he’d spoken to the FBI on Sunday as it probed the criminal hack into his email and he leveled a charge that Stone had “advance knowledge” of the document leaks.
This is typical Republican behavior. When the heat gets too hot, it’s time to look out for number one.
